SettingNatural ravine

One property.
Two compelling possibilities.

The property combines double-lot scale, substantial elevation change across a broad, continuous slope, and a natural ravine setting within Birmingham. It can be considered either as one exceptional homesite or as two platted lots with potential for separate residential development.

01 · One exceptional homesite

Design with the land.

The full property provides the scale of a double lot and allows a residence to take advantage of the natural grade. The terrain lends itself to walk-out architecture, with lower-level living, recreation or fitness spaces opening toward the ravine.

02 · Two platted lots

Development opportunity.

The property includes platted Lots 143 and 144, providing a second potential path for a builder or developer considering separate residential homesites.

Any parcel division, construction or future development is subject to applicable municipal review, approvals and independent buyer verification.

The topography shapes the site.

1450 Norfolk has substantial natural elevation change that falls gradually toward the ravine rather than the profile of a conventional flat infill parcel. The grade creates opportunities for walk-out architecture and other designs that respond directly to the terrain.
